By Daniel Drew:
The last crash was caused by reckless investments in subprime
mortgage-backed securities, an ingenious way to repackage and
redistribute staggering amounts of credit risk to unsuspecting
investors. After losing their house and their money, some investors may
take comfort in their enduring marital relationships. Unfortunately, marriage is one of the riskiest bets of all, which makes it a prime, or
should I say "subprime"target for Wall Street's masters of innovation.After watching oil titan Harold Hamm pay his ex-wife $1 billion,
I couldn't help but wonder where he went wrong in the relationship
department. Then again, he's not exactly a shining example of risk
management; he lost $10 billion
in the oil price collapse, or the equivalent of 10 ex-wives. Most
Americans can't afford to pay their spouse $1 billion or even $15,000, which is the average cost of a contested divorce. Where there's risk, Wall Street is not far away.
One of the remarkable features of modern society is the seemingly
endless amount of ways to repackage risk and distribute it to those who
have a demand for it. The wacky world of the insurance industry seems to
know no bounds. From vanilla products like car insurance to the
ultra-weird like Troy Polamalu's $1 million hair insurance,
you never really know what you're going to see next. While there are
certainly notable individual examples of insurance oddities, nothing has the potential to create widespread effects like marriage insurance.

Submitted by Tyler Durden:Update:The
Greek interior ministry vendor Singular Logic projects that “No”vote
will prevail with over 61% of vote in Greek referendum.

The Associated Press BREAKING: Greek interior ministry projection says 'no' camp will get more than 61 percent of vote.

It would seem that the Troika's fearmongering campaignbackfired:

And:Earlier: It seems the early forecasts showing the No vote in the lead were right:according to the Ministry of the Interior, with over 21% of the vote counted, the "No's" have a resounding lead with well over 60% of the vote.

By Zoe Zorka:Over the past weekend, my social media feed was filled with pictures of my friends and followers and their fathers, messages to their fathers, or memorial pictures of their fathers who have passed. Unfortunately, I also noticed a rather disturbing trend by which more and more posters than ever before seemed to be passive-aggressively demonizing men with comments such as, “Happy Father’s Day to all the single mom’s out there” or “we shouldn’t need a day to celebrate what dads should be doing every day.”I can only imagine how the latter statement would have gone over if someone posted that on Mother’s Day.The sad thing is that these comments aren’t limited to one or two days out of the year- they are simply a reflection of a paradigm shift that has been quietly occurring in our culture over the last several years, as the male species slowly becomes the enemy.More than Equal RightsBy today’s standards, it is evident that being a champion for women’s’ rights, LGBTQ rights, and the rights of other traditionally repressed minorities is something to be lauded. To criticize any of these groups publicly is almost grounds for crucification by social media. Yet, male-bashing seems to not just be accepted, but has taken on an almost sport-like form. Casual lighthearted jokes about men and relationships aside, it seems like it’s open hunting season when it comes to skewering the integrity and ethics of straight men.

'Greece is not the
victim of its own profligacy, it’s the victim of a structure that makes
it possible to unload the losses of the big countries’ failing
financial systems onto the shoulders of the smaller. There’s no way
Greece could win.'

By Raúl Ilargi Meijer:The IMF Debt Sustainability Analysis report on Greece that came out this week has caused a big stir. We now know that the Fund’s analystsconfirm what Syriza has been saying ever since they came to power 5 months ago: Greece needs debt relief, lots of it, and fast.We also know that Europe tried to silence the report. But what’s most interesting is that this has been going on for months, as per Reuters. Ergo, the IMF has known about the -preliminary- analysis for months, and kept silent, while at the same time‘negotiating’ with Greece on austerity and bailouts. And if you dig a bit deeper still, there’s no avoiding the fact that theIMF hasn’t merely known this for months, it’s known it for years. The Greek Parliamentary Debt Committee reported three weeks ago that it has in its possessionan IMF document from 2010(!)that confirms the Fund knew even at that point in time. That is to say, it already knew back then that the bailout executed in 2010 would push Greece even further into debt. Which is the exact opposite of what the bailout was supposed to do.

I finally thought I'd cover the film Mad Max Fury Road from a MGTOW perspective. If you haven't seen the film or the other three films made decades ago and don't want me to spoil them for you then I suggest you watch them first before listening to this. When Mad Max Fury road first came out I heard many media rumors how the men's rights guys kept talking about how it was a feminist film. All of that seems to have started with Aaron Clarey's article for Return of Kings about the film. So I watched the film thinking that it was going to show tons of female empowerment at some point and how women can do things just as well as men.

By MRA-UK: The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has just published their latest, 2014/15, “Violence against Women and Girls Crime Report” amid a flurry of high profile publicity including the Director of Public Prosecutions, Alison Saunders, appearing on Radio 4’s flagship “Today” programme. I am please to see that as I was compiling this post, a list of 31 signatories, led by Ally Fogg, published an open letter in the Guardian complaining about this report.As always, and in case this very obvious point gets lost in the many
details below, let us acknowledge immediately that there are some very
nasty men who commit horrible crimes against females. This is
undeniable, and, as far as I know, no sane person would wish to deny it.
However…There are three things wrong with the term “Violence against Women
and Girls (VAWG)” as it is now generally used, and specifically as it is
used in the CPS report. They are that “Violence” does not mean
violence, “Women” does not mean women and “Girls” does not mean girls.
This post elaborates these points.Fatal though these three observations are to the credibility of VAWG,
they are mere details. The rot starts with the very concept of VAWG.
Why, in God’s name, is it even necessary to point out that the
relentless focus on VAWG, unbalanced by any consideration of violence
against males, is discriminatory? The matter is simply a logical
syllogism.There are those who would argue that “VAWG” crimes against males are
so rare as to warrant no attention. But even were this true, the
argument is fallacious.

By Don Quijones: As Europe teeters on a precipice of its own making, some people are beginning to wonder whether the IMF might have somehow discovered it has a conscience. Strange as it may sound, rumors of the IMF’s do-gooding began spreading on Friday after the Fund published a damning report on the sustainability of Greece’s finances and the Troika’s woeful mismanagement of the country’s debt crisis. Granted, the report was deeply critical of Syriza’s negotiation strategies and governance of Greece. But the report’s real victims were the IMF’s two Troika partners, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission, both of whom had fought to prevent its publication.The latest developments confirm what I argued four months ago in “Is the IMF About to Make Greece an Offer It Can’t Refuse?”: namely that the IMF could well prove to be an unlikely, albeit temporary, ally for Syriza. Now, by publishing its Debt Sustainability Analysis at the best/worst possible time, the Fund has massively improved Syriza’s chances of achieving a no-vote on Sunday.Here’s more from The Guardian:

With days to go before Sunday’s knife-edge referendum that the country’s creditors have cast as a vote on whether it wants to keep the euro, the IMF revealed a deep split with Europe as it warned that Greece’s debts were “unsustainable”.

Dear Reader

Are YOU Involved or Institutionalized? Our belief that the global economic crisis would persist and deepen is being vindicated and current events are now as clear as ever on the matter. Time for all of us to wake up, stand up and be counted or continue to lose all our liberties. Protect your homes and families. The sun will still rise but financial chaos and suffering due to the global fascist banksters' greed and corruption, slaughter due to the MIC's directed world wars in our name etc. is not pretty. We are feeling the effect on our society the size and like of which we have never known.

We are way past being surprised at the blanket suppression of this information by the BBC and main stream media propaganda machines. Information is clearly available elsewhere and unchallenged, accounts for a far more realistic rendition of what we have actually seen and what we continue to see develop, whilst the main stream news put out leaves many confused and bewildered, 99.9% of us wrong footed and the awakened indignant. As we can now see, the apparently 'soft fascist' powers that be aim to block these alternative avenues of information. Book up, "Long Live the Evolution."Feel free to kopimi. Angelo Agathangelou.

P.S. The MHRM, are calling out the constant misinformation disseminated by and maintain our open challenge especially to western radical feminists, to point out just one area where government in the UK, Europe or anywhere else in the English speaking world disadvantages women and girls when compared with men and boys, ...the wage disparity myth having long been debunked by serious academics and statisticians. So far this challenge has remained unanswered. Western feminism is obsolete.

N.B.

These pages exist because we believe information from all perspectives should be aired, they do not necessarily reflect our views unless explicitly stated. We do not intend to cause offense, but we feel there is a need for such a shift in our society that to call it change rather than evolution would be an understatement. A velvet revolution towards living with reality for the individual, the family and society. A revolution towards living within our means and taking responsibility for ourselves, instead of mortgaging the future of our children to bloated leech faux democracy for the benefit of Ponzi 'banksters' and The Military Industrial Complex.
